astafari emphasizes Afrika first...

Rastafari = Afrikan Liberation first
Rastafari = pro red gold and green, red black and green, pro Afrika
Rastafari = Afrikan Unity first
Rastafari = The acceptance or the Male/Female principle that came forth out of Afrikan Spirituality
Rastafari = Seeing that our god and goddesses Must look like us "Afrikans", we are the image of our Creator
Rastafari = a Truth which cant be denied...

The people of African origin have emigrated to all parts of the world, but wherever they may be, they have similar historical experience and the problems that await them depend on sympathy and this can be used by all of us as the basis for the establishment of greater cooperation, which will be for our mutual benefit.

We stand today on the stage of world affairs, before the audience of world opinion. We have come together to assert our role in the direction of world affairs and to discharge our duty to the great continent whose two hundred and fifty million people we lead. Africa is today at mid-course, in transition from the Africa of Yesterday to the Africa of Tomorrow. Even as we stand here, we move from the past into the future. The task on which we have embarked, the making of Africa, will not wait. We must act, to shape and mould the future and leave our imprint on events as they slip past into history

An awareness of our past is essential to the establishment of our personality and our identity as Africans.

Africans, no more and no less than other men, possess all human attributes, talents and deficiencies, virtues and faults. Thousands of years ago, civilizations flourished in Africa which suffer not at all by comparison with those of other continents. In those centuries, Africans were politically free and economically independent.

Africa's victory, although proclaimed, is not yet total, and areas of resistance still remain. Today, We name as our first great task the final liberating of those Africans still dominated by foreign exploitation and control.

We are meeting here today to lay the basis for African unity.

As we renew our vow that all of Africa shall be free, let us also resolve that old wounds shall be healed and past scars forgotten.

We are determined to create a union of Africans. In a very real sense, our continent is unmade; it still awaits creation and its creators. It is our duty and privilege to rouse the slumbering giant of Africa, not to the nationalism of Europe of the Nineteenth Century, not to regional consciousness, but to the vision of a single African brotherhood bending its united efforts toward the achievement of a greater and nobler goal.

Glory Glory...Ashe Ashe...!!!!!
